Best Wifi Routers for Large Homes in 2023 – our top picks for big houses

The Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6E is arguably the most impressive mesh router system currently on the market, perfectly designed for providing large homes with great coverage. Its mesh system can create three individual networks – 2.4 GHz, 5-GHz, and 6 GHz, which are then distributed by a dozen high-power antennas hidden in each unit. Its range is optimized by the latest Wifi 6 technology – including beamforming and MU-MIMO, making it an incredibly powerful and efficient router.

Netgear provides users with an incredibly useful interface that makes it incredibly easy to manage the mesh system. This can be controlled over on the web interface, or the app – both featuring an incredibly user-friendly interface. Whilst the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6E is arguably the most impressive and advanced router on the market in regard to its range, it comes at an incredibly high price and is definitely unaffordable for most. Regardless it tops our list of the best routers for large homes.

The Linksys Atlas Max 6E is an incredibly powerful Wifi 6E router with impressive range. The Atlas Max 6E can reach far with its three-piece mesh system. With a subtle and inoffensive design, the Linksys Atlas Max 6E can be placed discretely at different points around your home. However, the added bit of hardware does unfortunately make this router much more expensive than its competitors.

The Linksys Atlas Max 6E also features the latest Wifi 6 compatible technology – including the 4×4 MUMIMO technology and beam-forming capabilities. This router also provides users with solid configuration features with a straightforward and easy-to-use interface on the Linksys app. The Linksys web interface allows users to fine-tune their preferences even further. Although the Linksys Atlas Max 6E scores very highly in regard to range, it lacks a robust security system that can compare to the likes of the RAXE500. Regardless, the Linksys Atlas Max 6E is an incredibly far-reaching router, perfect for a large home.

The TP-Link Archer AX90 AX6600 is a high-performing router that’s capable casting Wifi signals far and wide. It also comes packed with other high-performance features such as solid network security tools, tri-band Wifi 6 technology, and I/O ports. The TP-Link Archer AX90 AX6600 is equipped with 8 non-removable antennas ensuring maximum range, for a standalone router. As a Wifi 6 compatible device, this router supports all the latest Wifi 6 technologies. This includes WPA3 encryption, OFDMA, 4×4 MU-MIMO streaming, and beamforming.

The TP-Link Archer AX90 AX6600 is particularly strong in terms of throughput on the 5GHz band – and can deliver wide-ranging and strong signals. TP-Link offers the option of creating a OneMesh network with other compatible TP-Link routers, providing the possibility of creating a powerful mesh network. However, this does not come as part of the TP-Link Archer AX90 AX6600 package and would require even more investment on an already expensive router. The TP-Link Archer AX90 AX6600 is still a great router and deserves a place on our list of the best routers for large homes.

A mesh system router with great range, but at a far more entry-level price – the Google Nest provides users with an affordable alternative to the far more powerful and expensive Linksys and Netgear models. The strengths of Google’s Nest router lie in its simplicity and usability. An incredibly discreet and inoffensive design makes the Google Nest a perfect mesh router for home use, especially in larger homes. It will arguably look more appropriate in your kitchen, or next to a vase, than in the corner of your office.
